wget or something else?

Alright I tried to get this darwin ports thing up and running to install wget.
Well let me tell you. That doesn't work. I would not consider myself new. I have always used bash and linux etc.
I just could not get darwin ports running at all.
I am running leopard btw.

So basically I need to know if there is something that does the same function as wget built in to osx already? if not what is everyone using as an alternative?
